We need your help
[p]The new year has already started and we are planning many more updates for this year. These updates will include bug fixes and new content.[/p][p][/p][p]Like all of you, we are also following the development and status of Gold Hunter. We have noticed that things are progressing much more slowly than we had perhaps imagined.[/p][p][/p][p]Due to the fact that I am now only doing this on my own, there are simply delays.[/p][p]But now you would say, yes, then get support and more developers into the team.[/p][p]Theoretically that would be possible, but of course the developers also want to be paid and unfortunately this is not feasible at the moment.[/p][p][/p][p]I try to respond to the bug reports and needs of the community as much as I can. So far this has worked quite well, but we have noticed that some players still have a few problems that we cannot directly understand. The problems have come to our attention through bug reports as well as bad ratings and I would like to fix them.[/p][p][/p][p]We do test the game regularly, but I only have a limited number of options available and it's different when a large number of players are playing the game than a small team of moderators, who are more likely to notice bugs and problems because everyone plays differently.[/p][p][/p][p]We do get regular feedback from the community in the form of bug reports and in our Discord, but unfortunately not every player reports a problem to us when it occurs. And we really want the game to get better and be developed further.[/p][p][/p][p]That's why we need your support. We would like every player in the community to write their current problems in the game under this post. It would be helpful if the post is detailed, doesn't have to be a novel but please don't just write one sentence.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope that this will perhaps lead to more details being made public so that we can fix the problems and significantly improve the game experience. Of course, all this takes time, but this gives us the chance to perhaps collect all known problems in one place.[/p][p][/p][p]Well, that's all for now. I wish everyone a great start to the new week.[/p][p][/p][p]Roadmap https://trello.com/b/EC8Gd7iP/roadmap-public-early-access[/p][p]Discord https://discord.gg/vJR2nPj6nZ[/p][p][/p]
